Hi,

I have denyhosts running as a daemon and it does occasionally add new things 
that it finds in auth.log (I get a "new denied hosts" message in its logfile).

I have some IPs from a process that doesn't log to auth.log, that I also want 
to block.  So I have a script that manually adds them to auth.log using this 
command line:

/usr/bin/logger -p auth.notice Did not receive identification string from $ip

where $ip is the IP.  This works fine, creating lines like this in auth.log:

Mar 31 20:17:16 servername root: Did not receive identification string from 
118.107.224.25

But these lines are not picked up by denyhosts, even though "Did not receive 
identification string from <host>" is a built-in regex.  What might I be doing 
wrong here?

Thanks.
